Golden Axe Myth is a PC Windows fanmade prequel to Sega’s classic side-scrolling brawler. The three main characters from the original classic – Ax Battler, Tyrus Flare and Gilius Thunderhead – are present along with a fourth surprise playable character. Their task: take on the evil that has crept into the Empire of the Joined Lands and retrieve the stolen Golden Axe. Based on the OpenBOR engine, Golden Axe Myth has been modded with new visuals, music, stages and more. There is also an impressive array of extras available with the game, including a professionally produced instruction manual, art book (detailing concept artwork) and an original soundtrack. If you’re a fan of the original game, or just a retro gamer at heart, then you should head over to the Golden Axe Myth website before it’s too late.
